Retrieving list of categories for a given project via OSLC
I am attempting to create a work item using OSLC. In order to identify the category to file against, I am able to use the following request to retrieve ALL categories (across projects):
https://appserver.ibm.com:19443/ccm/oslc/categories This works fine in v3.0.1.3 and v4.0 RC4a. I would rather retrieve just those for a particular project area. I attempted the following URL: https://appserver.ibm.com:19443/ccm/oslc/categories?oslc.select=rtc_cm:projectArea,dcterms:title,rtc_cm:hierarchicalName&oslc.where=rtc_cm:projectArea="_kvL7cKQdEeG8FJTW-G_Mfg" It works fine in v3.0.1.3. However, in v4.0 RC4a (I originally observed this error in v4.0 RC1a), I get the following error: Illegal argument 'Project Area': _kvL7cKQdEeG8FJTW-G_Mfg with a oslc:statusCode of 400 Is there another way to retrieve categories in a given project area? Thanks, Prem. |
Accepted answer
FOUND THE ANSWER:
https://SERVER:PORT/jazz/oslc/categories.xml?oslc_cm.query=rtc_cm:projectArea="PROJECTID"
Note that you may need to replace "jazz" with "ccm".

I can successfully pull all of the categories for the "Rational Team Concert" project area out of jazz.net with https://jazz.net/jazz/oslc/categories.xml?oslc_cm.query=rtc_cm:projectArea="_1w8aQEmJEduIY7C8B09Hyw" I determined the project area ID by going to the project area web UI and getting the item id from the URI. I need to specify Accept: application/json in the request headers, otherwise I get an HTTP 406. |

Another way could be using the reportable RestAPI. See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ReportsRESTAPI
Comments The link you provided shows how to use Category to filter a list of work items. It does not show how to get a list of categories. |
Querying on the nested property name of dcterms:title of the Project Area, this worked for me on 4.0.3:
Request Headers: OSLC-Core-Version=2.0 Content-Type=text/xml Accept=application/xml (Although text/xml, text,json also work as expected) GET: https://localhost:9443/jazz/oslc/categories?oslc.select=dcterms:title&oslc.where=rtc_cm:projectArea{dcterms:title="The Project Name"} With reference to: http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/OSLCCoreSpecQuery |

This appears to still fail. Has anyone found a way to do this? The parameter is ignored and the full list of categories is the result.

For RTC 4.0.6, the correct request is
https://<server>:<port>/ccm/oslc/categories?oslc.where=rtc_cm:projectArea="https://<server>:<port>/ccm/oslc/projectareas/<projectId>"Basically, you can GET a category first and find out which attribute is for the project area and what the value looks like, then construct the "oslc.where" bit accordingly. |
HI All,
The above url still fetching all categories of Jazz server, not for a particular project area. Is there anything changed? I am using RTC 5.0.2. Thanks, Sud |

Same here. Works fine in 3.0.1 and fails in RTC 4.0 GA. I either get 400 or 500 error. Wondering what has changed. No information yet on this
Did anyone find a way around this?
